Now that Deadpool 2 is in theaters, people are already asking what the next movie in the franchise is going to be. That's going to be a X-Force movie that will be directed by Drew Goddard. When pressed for details about this next chapter in the Deadpool line of X-Men movies, star Ryan Reynolds told Collider he was really looking forward to working with Goddard and putting Wade in a team situation.

Well, I just wanna work with Drew. I mean I love him. And he has such an interesting take on where he wants to take that world. And I see it being a real ensemble on a lot of levels just because I think it's interesting for Deadpool to kinda function in the way he does in his own universe. You always get to sort of find some way to position him as the underdog, but take everything away from him. But for him to function in an ensemble is a lot of fun. I think there's a real opportunity to not, kind of, burden the narrative by shattering Wade's life, and then beginning our movie you get to have him just be part of the team. Which is obviously a very challenging prospect for someone like Wade Wilson. So, I'm really excited about that. I'm excited about a couple new characters that we're talking about. And I'm really especially excited to work with Drew. He's just amazing.

When pressed for more details Reynolds revealed that while they have ideas for the next movie, they don't have a script yet.

No, no we haven't even written a script. There's no script yet. … No, well there's a storyline that everyone's happy with. But there isn't a script yet. That's yet to come.

No script means we're several years away from seeing this movie. Fox has assured fans that the movie is happening despite the fact that the ink might be dry on the Disney contract by then. Deadpool 2 is already looking like it's going to have a very strong opening weekend, and it's unlikely Disney would kill that potential cash cow.

Summary(?): After surviving a near fatal bovine attack, a disfigured cafeteria chef (Wade Wilson) struggles to fulfill his dream of becoming Mayberry's hottest bartender while also learning to cope with his lost sense of taste. Searching to regain his spice for life, as well as a flux capacitor, Wade must battle ninjas, the yakuza, and a pack of sexually aggressive canines, as he journeys around the world to discover the importance of family, friendship, and flavor – finding a new taste for adventure and earning the coveted coffee mug title of World's Best Lover.

Deadpool 2, directed by David Leitch, stars Ryan Reynolds, Morena Baccarin, T.J. Miller, Josh Brolin, Brianna Hildebrand, and Zazie Beetz. It will be released on May 18th.
